“Jujutsu (jj) is a version control system with a significantly simplified mental model and command-line interface compared to Git, without sacrificing expressibility or power (in fact, you could argue Jujutsu is more powerful). Stacked-diff workflows, seamless rebases, and ephemeral revisions are all natural with jj [...]”

Part 2 of the series is out and is here.

jujutsu changes a lot of the affordances to manage changes and I understand that many people will be reluctant to use such a changed interface

You lost all credibility when you just blamed my criticism on "stockholm syndrom". Sorry buddy.

BTW there are two configurations / new commands that could be helpful for you:

  • there is a configuration option (auto-track='none()', already mentioned by other commenterd here) to switch off auto-adding of new files
  • there is an alias command, tug that automatically advances branches / bookmarks to the current commit / change.

Oh, I was referring to people who do not want to believe at all there could be something easier to use than git. Probably not the best way to express this.

I don't know whether it fits your use case. You decide that.

Also, jujutsu is still immature and has many rough edges.
